Problems with making baby food in my blender?!
I did trying to add more liquid andalso adjusting the speed and also mahsing it a spoon. I have also tried to take it out and shaking it. These solutions seem to help the blending process for about 5 seconds.
This happens with a thicker and thin (water added) textures both. But only sometimes, not on a consistent basis.
The food is supposed to flow and makes a 'whirlpool' and keep circulating the food. But tonight again, it wouldn't and the top food just sat there, even while starting out slow and increasing the speed.
What am I doing wrong? It is a pretty good blender.... one of those old OSCAR ones that still have the glass container... not a $30 Walmart one by any means. I try to make baby food in it and sometimes I get that whirlpool/funnel things going and it purees beautifully and sometimes it doesn't.
Answers: It seems to create an air pocket around the blade at times.

I made babyfood all of the time for my children. I would use an immersion blender (stick blender). The regular blender caused the problems that you speak of and the food processor would not work because I was working with too small quantities. The stick blender worked like a charm
This is stick blender
